Offcanvas / Sidebar

Build hidden sidebars into your project for navigation, shopping carts, and more with a few classes and our JavaScript plugin.

How it works

Offcanvas is a sidebar component that can be toggled via JavaScript to appear from the left, right, or bottom edge of the viewport. Buttons or anchors are used as triggers that are attached to specific elements you toggle, and data attributes are used to invoke our JavaScript.

  • Offcanvas shares some of the same JavaScript code as modals. Conceptually, they are quite similar, but they are separate plugins.
  • Similarly, some source Sass variables for offcanvas’s styles and dimensions are inherited from the modal’s variables.
  • When shown, offcanvas includes a default backdrop that can be clicked to hide the offcanvas.
  • Similar to modals, only one offcanvas can be shown at a time.

Examples

Below is an offcanvas example that is shown by default (via .show on .offcanvas). Offcanvas includes support for a header with a close button and an optional body class for some initial padding. We suggest that you include offcanvas headers with dismiss actions whenever possible, or provide an explicit dismiss action.


<Button @click="one=!one">Toggle Offcanvas</Button>
<OffCanvas aria-labelledby="offcanvasLabel" header="Offcanvas" v-model="one">
    Content for the offcanvas goes here. You can place just about any Bootstrap component or custom elements here.
</OffCanvas>

  • start|left places offcanvas on the left of the viewport (shown above)
  • end|right places offcanvas on the right of the viewport

  • bottom places offcanvas on the bottom of the viewport

<Button @click="top=!top">Top Offcanvas</Button>

<Button class="ms-2" @click="left=!left">Left Offcanvas</Button>
<Button class="ms-2" @click="right=!right">Right Offcanvas</Button>

Variants

Use the props bg-variant and text-variant to control the theme color variant of the background and text, respectively. Alternatively, you can apply styles or classes to specify the background and text colors.


<Button @click="variant=!variant">Toggle Offcanvas</Button>

<OffCanvas bg-variant="dark" text-variant="light" header="Offcanvas" v-model="variant">
    Content for the offcanvas goes here. You can place just about any Bootstrap component or custom elements here.
</OffCanvas>
